The complaint filed by Deborah Seyram Adablah, a young lady who accused a former bank chief financial officer of sexual harassment, was dismissed by the Accra High Court.
Judge John Bosco Nabarese presided over the court’s decision today, Nov. 28, which found that although Adablah’s relationship with the former CFO was morally repugnant and against social norms, there wasn’t enough evidence to support Adablah’s case.
With the ruling that “you cannot recover the price of something you have committed into an immoral act,” the court was hesitant to approve of a relationship founded on immoral behavior.
Seyram Adablah has been mandated to pay a fine of GH¢10,000 as a result.
This ruling is in response to an application that the former Chief Financial Officer submitted asking the court to reject Adablah’s claim.
Seyram Adablah filed a lawsuit on January 23, 2023, alleging that her “sugar daddy,” Ernest Kwasi Nimako, had promised her several things.
Nimako allegedly promised to buy her a car, pay for her housing for three years, give her a GH¢3,000 monthly allowance, marry her after divorcing his wife, and give her a lump sum to launch a business.
Adablah argued that even though Nimako was the original owner of the car, he took it back from her after just a single year, denying her access to it.
She also said that although Nimako had promised to pay for three years, he had only paid for one year’s worth of lodging needs.
Adablah filed a lawsuit, requesting a court order compelling Nimako to give Adablah back ownership of the car and title it in her name.
In addition, she asked the court to order Nimako to pay the agreed-upon lump sum for launching a business and to pay for her medical bills associated with a family planning procedure he suggested.
